George Ashby Tribute

They came cloaked in "uniforms of brutality"
Acting with sadly misplaced authority
With their guns they turned his day into night
Now George is unjustly banished frommy sight
Their motto, to serve and protect
They served him bullets and disrespect
So many questions now play on my anguished mind
Answers to which i cannot seem to find
Now His village sings a solemn dirge
As it struggles against a most primal urge
To descend into that dark precipice
And Repay his killer with firearm justice
The fires that burned in George's community
Must serve to ignite a spark in the national psyche
Those of us left standing have a duty to fight
To restore in our land a sense of what is just and right
If his dying can, from injustice bring relief
There would be some sense to this season of grief

..with abiding love to my true friend
